might be done upon it neither did they understand that inward and spiritual rest that was held out in the command as appears by the words of the Lord Isay 58.13 14. If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath from doing thy pleasure upon my Holy day and call the Sabbath a delight the Holy of the Lord honourable and shalt honour him not doing thine own wayes nor finding thine own pleasure nor speaking thine own words So that the Saints are not only to cease from outward work in their callings but also from works that are inward and spiritually wicked that so the Sabbath might be a delight unto them the Holy of the Lord honourable And mark the promise that it is to such Sabbath keepers vers 14. Then shalt thou delight thy self in the Lord and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it First they shall delight themselves in the Lord and that will make the Sabbath a delight Secondly they shall ride upon the high places of the earth the high places of the earth holds forth as I conceive the great opposition whether of great and mighty men or great walled Cities according to that in Deut. 1.28 it hath an allusion to Israels subduing the land of Canaan Deut 32.13 thou shalt ride upon them that is subdue and conquer them as Psal 45.4 Psal 66.12 They shall tread upon their high places as in Deu. 33.39 They shall be as ashes under the soles of their feet Mal. 4.3 Now when did the Lords people do such work as this since this prophesie or is it not yet to be fulfilled Again consider what the Lord saith Isay 56.6 7. Also the sons of the stranger that joyn themselves to the Lord to serve him and to love the name of the Lord to be his servants every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it and taketh hold of my Covenant even them will I bring to my Holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine Altar for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people By the sons of the strangers I understand is here meant Gentiles who were strangers to the Common-wealth of Israel and a far off but now made nigh by the blood of Christ and so they joyn themselves to the Lord and serve him and love the name of the Lord these are such as keep the Sabbath and take hold of Gods Covenant and it is such a Sabbath as may be poluted and therefore not Christ as some would have it now the promises that are made to these strangers do look at clear Gospel times They shall be brought into Gods Holy Mountain and there be made joyful when it s so mountainous that its the house of prayer for all people or for all nations as Christ saith Mar. 11.17 Isay 56.8 again in vers 2. Blessed be the man that doth this and the son of man that layeth hold on it that keepeth the Sabbath from poluting it and keepeth his hand from doing any evil thus saith the Lord unto the Eunuches that keep my Sabbath and chuse the things that please me and take hold on my Covenant even unto them will I give in my house a name and a place better then of sons and daughters I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off vers 2 4 5. The Eunuches are such as care for things that please the Lord when the married cares for the things that please his wife 1 Cor. 7.32 33. or according to that in Rev. 14.4 These are they that were not defilled with women for they are Virgins these are they that follow the Lamb wheresoever he goeth they sing as it were a new song and yet it is old it s the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb. Rev. 15.2 3. And when two parts shall be cut off and dye Zech. 13.8 the Eunuches that keep the Sabbath shall have an everlasting name which shall not be cut off Now let us not think it incredible that the Sabbath should be yet in force because it hath been so long laid by it hath been so with other truths and so with this before now it seemed to be so out of knowledge with Israel in the wilderness that when the people had gathered twice as much Manna on the sixth day they did not understand the meaning of it but the Nobles came and told Moses Exod. 16.22 and Moses told them the thing that the Lord had said that to morrow was the rest of the Holy Sabbath And also after their coming out of Babylon when they had built the house of God and set it in order placing the Priests and Levits and had chosen faithful men to distribute the maintainance to their brethren Neh. 13.10 13. In a word their reformation was much about the light of ours and is confessed by the enlightened that it was a Type of this reformation that the Lord hath begun amongst us in these Isles namely in bringing his people our of Babylon and building up of Sion and indeed as their sins and ours are alike in many things so in this namely in breaking the fourth Commandment for Nehemiah saith in Chap. 13.15 That in those dayes he saw in Judah some treading Wine-presses on the Sabbath and lading of Asses and bringing of Sheafs as also Wine-grapes and Figs and all manner of burthens which they brought into Jerusalem upon the Sabbath day and he testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals notwithstanding all the reformation yet this was seen in Judah they had layed by the observation of the Sabbath and had made it a common working Market-day as you may see at large in that Chap. It was not in vain therefore that the Lord said Remember the Sabbath he foreseeing how it would be sleighted and forgotten not only by those that were brought out of litteral Babylon but also by those that should be brought out of spiritual Babylon in the latter dayes but when the day of the Lord burns as an oven it will be remembred to some purpose Mal. 4.4 In the mean time the Lord is stirring up some of his poor babes and sucklings such he is pleased usually to discover truth unto at the first breaking out of it and they are to contend for it though in much weakness But a word to the beginning and ending of the Sabbath there are various apprehensions about it which for brevity sake I shall omit the Scripture is plain that from evening to evening is the set time or from the going down of the Sun to the going down of the Sun this is clear from the beginning Gen. 1.5 The evening and the morning was the first day evening and morning make a compleat natural day and the evening
